Skilled suspenseful thriller

The first in a new thriller series, 'The Girl without Skin' reads like an experienced Scandinavian thriller, with the exception that this one takes place in Greenland. The story was interesting enough, but I thought there were several carefully built but unbelievable coincidences. E.g. I found it hard to believe how easily Tupaarnaq, the mysterious Inuit woman, came to help Matt Cave with his investigation, instead of keeping her distance when he first encounters her.

The most fascinating part of the story were the bits of Greenland history described in this book. I was intrigued by the deadly puzzle pieces Matt Cave uncovered and put together. Now that I'm finished I don't feel as enthusiastic about it as at the beginning, but I'm far from being disappointed either.

(Thanks to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for a copy of the book, all opinions are my own)
